The Laevateinn(レーヴァテイン, Reevatein?), also known as Laevatein, Twin Lævateinns, or Laveateinn, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It appears as either a staff, or, in some cases, a sword.

Laevateinn is a high-ranked weapon for Vaan available through crafting it after obtaining the Forged by Fire recipe. It provides +90 Attack, +45 Magick, and +60 Speed, and is Fire-elemental. It uses a generic sword sprite during battle.

The Laveateinn is the eighth-strongest sword in terms of Attack power, and can only be equipped by a Clavat. It provides 100 Attack at level 1 and 150 Attack at level 30, gives +5 to Dark, and has 2 empty slots. It is obtained as a drop from the Mimic at Library 2 on Hard and Very Hard, and can then be created for 940 gil by using up Black Gold x6, Black Silver x6, and Dark Dust x6. When turned into a jewel, a level 3-6 Laevateinn makes an Anti-Dark Stone 2, level 10-19 makes a Guard Stone 2, and level 20-30 makes an Ebonite.

A flaming sword forged by the serpent deity, who envied birds' flight and wished to see them slain. Each butchered bird dulled the sword little by little, at last snuffing out its flame. The serpent god took offense to this, turning the sword into a staff, and vowed to continue his hunt until not a bird remained.

[view·edit·purge]Laevateinn, or Levatine, is a mythical sword or magic staff from Norse mythology, also known as the "Wounding Wand" or the "Staff of Destruction". The elf Völundr had forged a sword so lethal that it imperiled the very gods themselves. The sword was taken from Völundr, brought to Asgard, and passed into the hands of the god Freyr, who traded Laevateinn for the hand of the giantess Gerðr. At Ragnarök, Surtr (the lord of the fire giants) wielded Laevateinn and severed the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil, instigating the destruction of the universe. Freyr would ultimately fall to his own blade during Ragnarok at Surtr's hand.
